queen Victoria's Jubilee.

London was in great state of excite
ment on the eve of the Queens Jubilee,
many streets being blocked with people so
that they were impossible. 1t was ex-
pected that over 1900, OO0peopIe would wit
ness the Jubilee procession the following
day. Decorations with banners, notices
and flags were progressing enormously,
and when done promise to eclipse any
thing of the kind ever before attempted in
England.
A private rehearsal of the service was
had in Westminster Abbey on the 10th. 1t
was perfect success, and the effect was
grand.
The Queen was in receipt of numerous
messages of congratulation from all parts
of the world.

MERCY,

The Philadelphia Record says: "Jeffer-
son Davis is setting his house IN order.
The Good Lord and Uncle Sam certainly
have been merciful to him, and should
the sons of the victors be less merciful?'
Jefferson Davis has lived to a ripe old age,
in such o way as to prepare him for the
summons that must reach him in time.
The Good Lord has, indeed, been merciful
to him. He has lived beyond the allotted
years of man. He has received the heart
felt demonstrations of his people, lavished
upon him under circumstances which
made his heart swell with gratitude and
pride. He has outlived very many of his
friends and most of his opponents, and has
lived to seethe senseless prejudice against
him in the North greatly softened. But
he has no cause to be thankful for any mer-
cies bestowed Upon him by "Uncle SAM"
or in other words, the general government.
The cruelties and indignities inflicted up
on him are a blot and stain upon the his
tory and character of the government.
Notwithstanding the assurance from a
United States Judge that he could pack a
Jury to convict Jefferson Davis, the gov
eminent itself dared not make the attempt.
No more responsible for the war than the
people who called him to the head OF their
government, he was made the greatest
sufferer, and it is a mockery of words to
call the conduct of Stanton and his min
ions mercies. The day will come to the
people of the North when they will realize
the fact that God was merciful to them by
restraining their passions ere they had
committed a crime against Jefferson Davis
for which remorse would have been no
atonement.-MucOn Telegraph.

How OFTEN TO GROW CLovER...Clo-
yer cannot be grown forever. 1t is an eX-
haustive crop, taking from the soil in a
crop of two tons to the acre 1870 pounds of
nitrogen, II pounds Of phoSphoric acid,
and II pounds of potash, with Il large
quantity of lime. 1t is supposed, and is
commonly taught that the clover is not
hard upon the soil, and gets its nutriment
from some obscure source, or, in point of
fact, from anywhere but the soil. This,
however, lisa general mistake, as the above
figures show, and as farmers who try to
grow clover often find to their sorrow and
disappointment. For the land is ''clovsr
sick" as it is termed, just as it becomes
wheat sick, or potato sick, that is, it is too
weak and exhausted to mature a crop.
The clover starts we'll and the small plants
look promising, but in two weeks one is
astonished to find the clover has disap-
peared. 1t has died of starvation and for
want of food. The only safe way is to get
a good crop of clover and pillow in a good
stubble, then lime the land and grow two
or three other crops before returning to
clover. Forty bushels of lime per acre
will be of great help in growing clover.

pound, the French livre, Italian Ira +;
others from the metal, as the rupee from
the Sanskrit rupya, silver; others from
the head of the state, as the sovereign,
crown; others from the proper name of
the monarch, such as the Louis dor. or the
Napolean. The dollar or thaler is short
for the Jachimsthaler, or money of the
Joachims valley, in Bohemia, where these
coins were first struck in the Sixteenth
century. Guineas were first called after
the country from which the gold was OBJ
tanned, and franc is an abbreviation of the
inscription Francorum Rex. The SOU is
from the Latin solidus. The word shilling
appears to be derived from a root signify
ing to divide and in several cases the
name indicates the fraction of some larger
coin, as the denarius, ha%lf-penny, farthing,
cent and mill. The British pound was
originally not a coin, but a weight, and
comes from the Latin pondus. The Brit
ish pound originally was a pound of sill
yer, which was divided into 24O pennies.
The origin of the word penny is unknown.
Some have derived it from pendo, to
weigh but this does not seem very salts
factory. The word "sterling" is said to 60
back to the time of the Conquest, but the
derivation has been much disputed.

THE KENTUCKY PIONEER.

A happy and artistic thought has pre-
served the authentic pioneer costume,
sculptured upon the State military monu-
ment at Frankfort, from models prepared
under the eye Of pioneers that then sur
vived. The coat or "hunting shirt" that
reached to the thigh was of coarse cloth or
preferably of we'll dressed deerskin that
turned rain and was not readily torn.
Around the neck and shoulders was a
fringe six inches long, not intended for
ornament alone, but supplying the strings
80 often needed by a hunter. The four
pockets, two on either breast, were exactly
placed that the use of weapons would not
be embarrassed. A belt, carrying toma-
hawk and knife, passed through loops at
the back and was frightened by q buckle
or thongs.
Beneath the right arm swung the bullet
pouch, and with it the powder horn. In
the former were carried the bullets, the
cotton "patching" with which the balls
were surrounded in loading, and the pre-.
cious extra fints, all inclosed and fastened
in interior pockets, lest in rapid move
horn was selected with reference to the
curve of the body, that it might lie close
and neither impede the use of the right
arm nor become entangled with the bushes
or cane. Much carr was bestowed upon
its adornment and it was softened by
boiling to receive the desired shape and
preparation. At the left side hung the
tomahawk, a light Ratchet with curved
blade, useful in many ways about the
camp, and a formidable weapon in close
combat. The knife lay across the chest
within ready grasp.
Over his short trousers and stockings
the hunter habitually wore deerskin leg
gings that reached to the middle Of the
thigh. These were prepared for brain
dressed skins and perfectly turned the rain
and dew. Along their outer edge were
often fringes of strings hanging for ready
use. The feet were casedin moccasins, to
which soles of raWhide were sometimes
sewed; but as a rule the soft elkskin was
preferred, for the face of the land was as
yet unbroken turf or forest mold, soft and
springy to the tread. Stone cropped out
as cultivation disturbed the soil in after
years. A cap, brought from the eastern
settlements, or made of the skin of a coon
or panther, completed the costume of the
original hunter in Kentucky.-Harper's
Magazine.

GOOD SEED WHEAT.

There is but one way to have good seed
wheat and that is to grow it. We gave
u plani in 1884, and after three years added
experience, know of no improvements to
suggest. Here it is:-Select an acre or
two, according to your needs, OF the very
best wheat land on the farm. If it is cloV-
er sod, so much the better, and if you can
spare four or five loads of coarse n TO
be plowed down, better yet. Plow now,
and leave nothing undone to put the sur
face in the best possible condition. Let
the harrow, roller, c%ultivator and plank
drag follow each other at short Intervals
as may be necessary to make a perfect seed
bed, not more than two or three inches
deep. The patch being small, this may be
done at odd hours, mornings or evenings,
and the time not be missed.
AS sowing time approaches, apply SIX or
eight loads per acre of good tine stable ms,
nure and twenty-five bushels of lime,
with the last workings thoroughly mix
this in. A week or 80 before sowing Tune
don't sow too early-land prepared 10 ms ms
way will "push things,") mix together 2oO
pounds of fine bone, and as much unieacn-
ed ashes, dampening them a little to keep
LuSul j .Oul uyluS, III uoS l nv
found too damp to work we'll in the drill
mix a little wheat bran with it for a drier.
Now you are ready to- sow, and we are
going to skip over the matter of variety,
merely stopping to say select whatever
sort your own experience or that of your
neighbors has proven most profitable in
your own locality. See to it that your seed
Is pure and clean if you have to hand pick
If. This will not be very much of q job II
Won follow our next advice which is to sow
but half a bushel per acre. That sounds
radical, we know, but for this once we
want to ask you to be radical, just by way
of experiment. Set the drill to sow but
one peck per acre, and then drill in both
ways. Now we want you to try this plan
on our recommendation. Ifyou are afraid
to risk it with so small a quantity of seed,
increase this as much as you like. but by
all means grow a small patch ofseed wheat,
and the chances are that after a few years
your crop will all DO fit for seed and salea-
BILE at advanced prices.-Farm Journal.

THE CRANBERRY ROUTE,

In Shelby, N. c., on the 4th instant, Col.
S. Med. Tate and his associates signed the
necessary papers guaranteeing the con-
%struction of a new railroad through a por-
ton of Cleveland county. In this work,
Col. Tate claims to be backed by ample
northern capital. Concerning this new
road, the Shelby aurora of the 2lst instant
says:
The new railroad enterprise to Gran
berry promises to begin soon the surveys
and to commence grading in November.
We know Col. S. Med. Tate, Judge Avery
and Mai. Wilson, of Morganton, and their
names are omens of success to the enter
prise. They are gentlemen of means, en-
terprise and railway experience and say
they have abundant capital to begin the
enterprise. What railway is behind the
enterprise, we know not. Some conJec-
ture that the Carolina Central is the con-
trolling spirit and wishes an outlet to Gran.
berry and Tennessee where iron q coal
are abundant. Two years ago the Carroll
M Central through Gen. r. F. Hoke adj
vocated this enterprise and promised to
aid Col. Tate, but the building OF the rival
line to Rutherfordton caused a change in
programme from Morganton to Ruther-
fordton. This was probably an lnJudl,
cious move Tor the Carolina Central, but
they were fighting a new line invading
their territory and decided to build first
to Rutherfordton. Col. Tate is good ii.
nancer and will play his cards wei! ana
we expect to see the road quickly built.
Some think the Charleston, Cincinnati
and Chicago will trade with Coz. late ana
secure the charter to Morganton, as the
HfoDo,,oll rN,,ta hoe hnpn rlnnrt66 RI ma
abandoned, but we do not think that is
correct. It has been stated by Col. P. ?:
Dickinson recently that the Mcdowell
route has not been abandoned and he said
he would begin grading between Ruther.
fordton and Marion on August 18th and
push the enterprise. Will the two rival
lines make a race for Cranberry and IN
their bitter struggle give us two railroads
to iron and coal?
There is much conjecture in regard to
the capitalists who propose to build the
railroad to Cranberry. Some assert it
will be a branch of the Carolina Central,
others think the Boston will control 1T.
Col. Tate, Mai. Wilson and Judge Avery
favor more the Airline syndicate than the
Carolina Central, and they say it has moth
ing to do with the Carolina Central. We
think that neither rival line has any con-
troll of this new route, but other capital
lists will direct and push this enterprise to
an early and successful completion, if no
legal complications prevent. They claim
one-half a million of capital at their COM
mand and have no connection with any
railroad in North or South Carolina. We
are glad to learn that it is a new route
free from the control of either rival lines.
AS o as Maj. Wilson finishes the Cum
berland Gap survey, our routes will be
surveyed and work will begin according
tO contract.

4 PLAIN UNDERSTANDING.

Close by a railroad junction in Alabama
where we had to wait some time for the
other train was a general store, ana several
of US went over to see how business was
done. The proprietor was q little ola man
with a benevolent face, and his clerk was
his son, who was a hawk eyed, sharp nosed
u man with no benevolence about him.
The customers were mostly negroes, and
there was a run on some new tin coffee
pots lust unpacked. The n hung up for
q sample was marked twenty-five" on the
BOTTOM. Every time a darby asked the old
man for q coffee pot he was referred to
"WiUiam," and every time William was
asked for calico he referred the customer
to father. We saw this 60 on until our Gu
riosity was aroused, and the colonel finally
asked the old man for an explanation.
eStranger? 2" queried the old man in re-
ply Yves"
"Don't live about here?"
tOh, no; just waiting for the train"
"Well, then, it's just this way: William
has the conscience to ask forty cents FUR a
twenty-five cent coffee pot, and as he's a
leetle sot in his ways I let him tend to that
line"
"But about the calico?"
swell, try as hard as l may, l can't ask
over eighteen pence for ten cent calico, and
as William knows how rigid my prlncl-
Piles are, he never interferes with my side
of the store."-DetroI Free Press.
